Check out this helicopter crash when it snags a cable.

I found
HIG on the belly of the chopper to be interesting for obvious reasons.

They are very lucky no one was cut in two by either the cable or the rotor!
I still can't believe the cable wasn't marked when they started.

Crazy footage. Everyone on the ground seems surprisingly well composed right afterwards given the situation!

I agree with you Styles.....I think everyone was still in shock........I'm sure it sunk in later!
